[0023] The advantages and features of this disclosure, as well as the methods for implementing them, will become clear from the following detailed description of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure can be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. The embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of this disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0024] The shapes, dimensions, ratios, angles, numbers, etc., disclosed in the accompanying drawings for describing embodiments of this disclosure are illustrative, and therefore this disclosure is not limited to what is shown. Throughout this disclosure, the same reference numerals refer to the same parts. Furthermore, in the following description of this disclosure, detailed descriptions of known related technologies will be omitted or briefly discussed when it is determined that such detailed descriptions unnecessarily obscure the key points of this disclosure.

[0025] When using terms such as “including,” “having,” “comprising,” etc., as mentioned in this disclosure, additional parts may be added, unless the term “only” is used herein. Furthermore, when a part is referred to as singular, the plural is included unless otherwise stated.

[0026] When analyzing components, the error range is interpreted as included, even when there is no explicit description.

[0027] When describing positional relationships, for example, when describing the positional relationship between two parts / layers as "above", "on", "above", "below", "below", "next to", etc., one or more other parts / layers may be positioned between the two parts / layers unless "closely to" or "directly" is used with them.

[0028] When describing temporal relationships, such as describing temporal precedence as "after", "following", "next", "before", etc., discontinuous or out-of-order situations may also be included unless "immediately" or "directly" is used.

[0029] Although the terms first, second, etc., are used to describe various components, these components are not substantially limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one component from another and may not specify any order or sequence. Therefore, within the technical spirit of this disclosure, the first component described below can be substantially the second component.

[0030] Features of the various embodiments of this disclosure may be combined or integrated with each other in part or in whole, various interlocks and drives are technically possible, and each of the embodiments may be implemented independently of each other or together in a related relationship.

[0031] In the following, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Figure 1 This is a schematic plan view of a display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0033] exist Figure 1 In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the display device may include a display panel 10 and a driving unit 20.

[0034] The display panel 10 may include a display area DA for displaying an image and a non-display area NDA disposed on at least one side of the display area DA. For example, the non-display area NDA may surround the display area DA.

[0035] Multiple sub-pixels SP can be disposed in the display area DA, and the multiple sub-pixels SP are arranged in a first direction X and a second direction Y. Each sub-pixel SP may include a light-emitting diode and at least one thin-film transistor.

[0036] Each subpixel SP can display one color, and subpixels SP displaying different colors can constitute a pixel. For example, a pixel can contain three subpixels, and these three subpixels SP can be a red subpixel, a green subpixel, and a blue subpixel.

[0037] Although not shown in the figure, a plurality of first signal lines extending in the first direction X and a plurality of second signal lines extending in the second direction Y can be provided in the display area DA, and the plurality of first signal lines and the plurality of second signal lines can be electrically connected to the thin film transistor and / or light-emitting diode of each sub-pixel SP.

[0038] Additionally, although not shown in the figure, a first link line and a second link line, respectively electrically connected to the first signal line and the second signal line, can be provided in the non-display area NDA, and more specifically, in the non-display area NDA between the display area DA and the driving unit 20.

[0039] The driving unit 20 can be disposed on one side of the display panel 10, for example, on the lower side of the display panel in the background of the figure, and can include a source printed circuit board 22 and at least one flexible printed circuit 24.

[0040] The flexible printed circuit 24 can be disposed between the display panel 10 and the source printed circuit board 22, and the flexible printed circuit 24 can be attached to the non-display area NDA of the display panel 10.

[0041] The flexible printed circuit 24 may include a base film formed of a flexible material and a driver integrated circuit chip (driver IC chip) mounted on the base film. The flexible printed circuit 24 can generate data signals for displaying images and transmit the data signals to the display panel 10.

[0042] In embodiments of this disclosure, the flexible printed circuit 24 may be a chip-on-film (COF) type. However, embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the flexible printed circuit 24 may be a chip-on-glass (COG) type or a tape-on-package (TCP) type.

[0043] Furthermore, in embodiments of this disclosure, three flexible printed circuits 24 may be provided, but embodiments of this disclosure are not limited to this. The number of flexible printed circuits 24 can vary.

[0044] The source printed circuit board 22 may include circuitry for controlling the driver IC chip. For example, the source printed circuit board 22 may include a timing controller that receives image signals and multiple timing signals from an external system, generates multiple control signals, and transmits the generated control signals to the driver IC chip.

[0045] Additionally, the source printed circuit board 22 may include a touch driving circuit for detecting touch.

[0046] Meanwhile, although not shown in the figure, a first sensing line extending substantially in a first direction and a second sensing line extending substantially in a second direction can be provided in the display area DA of the display panel 10.

[0047] For example, the first sensing line may include a receiver electrode, and the second sensing line may include a transmitter electrode. However, embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the first sensing line may include a transmitter electrode, and the second sensing line may include a receiver electrode.

[0048] The first and second sensing lines can intersect each other to form a sensing capacitor. The capacitance of the sensing capacitor can change due to user input, and touch input can be detected by the amount of change in capacitance.

[0049] A first wiring RL1 and a second wiring can be provided in the non-display area NDA between the display area DA and the driving unit 20, respectively electrically connected to the first sensing line and the second sensing line.

[0050] Incidentally, since the signal connected to the first wiring RL1, which includes the first sensing line of the receiver electrode, may be sensitive to ambient signals, the signal of the first wiring RL1 may couple with signals from other lines or may be interfered with by signals from other lines. Therefore, ghosting defects may occur, where a touch is recognized in an area outside the actual touch location, or touch sensitivity may be reduced. That is, signals from other lines may act as noise to the signal of the first wiring RL1.

[0051] Therefore, in the display device according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, by setting the ground line GND in the non-display area NDA between the display area DA and the driving unit 20, and setting the first wiring RL1 between the portions of the ground line GND, it is possible to prevent the signal of the first wiring RL1 from being interfered with or coupled to the signal adjacent to it.

[0052] In this configuration, the ground line GND can form a closed loop corresponding to each flexible printed circuit 24, and adjacent closed loops can be connected to each other corresponding to the source printed circuit board 22. Therefore, the ground line GND can be configured to form a large closed loop, such that multiple closed loops can be connected to each other corresponding to a source printed circuit board 22.

[0053] Furthermore, in the display device according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, a gate control line GCL can be provided in the display area DA and the non-display area NDA, which will be described in detail later.

[0054] Therefore, the display device according to the embodiments of the present disclosure can be provided with a sensor portion including a first sensing line and a second sensing line in the display panel 10, thereby detecting the user's touch input and performing the corresponding operation.

[0055] Reference Figure 2 The cross-sectional configuration of a display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is described.

[0056] Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of a display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 Corresponding to Figure 1 The line I-I' is shown, and a cross section of a sub-pixel SP is also shown.

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, the display panel 10 of the display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a display portion 100 and a sensor portion 200 above the display portion 100.

[0058] The display portion 100 may include a thin-film transistor TR and a light-emitting diode De on the substrate 110.

[0064] Semiconductor layer 122 may include a channel region at its center and source and drain regions on either side of the channel region. Semiconductor layer 122 may be formed of an oxide semiconductor material. Alternatively, semiconductor layer 122 may be formed of polysilicon.

[0065] A gate insulating layer 130 may be disposed above the semiconductor layer 122. The gate insulating layer 130 may be formed of an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide (SiOx), silicon nitride (SiNx), or silicon oxynitride (SiON), and may be formed as a single layer or multiple layers.

[0066] A gate electrode 132 and a first capacitor electrode 134 can be disposed above the gate insulating layer 130.

[0067] The gate electrode 132 may overlap with the semiconductor layer 122 and may be configured to correspond to the central portion of the semiconductor layer 122. Therefore, the gate electrode 132 may overlap with the light-shielding pattern 112.

[0068] The first capacitor electrode 134 may be spaced apart from the gate electrode 132. The first capacitor electrode 134 may also be spaced apart from the light-shielding pattern 112.

[0074] A source electrode 152 and a drain electrode 154 may be disposed above the second interlayer insulating layer 150. The source electrode 152 and the drain electrode 154 may be spaced apart from each other, with the gate electrode 132 located between them, and the source electrode 152 and the drain electrode 154 may contact the two ends of the semiconductor layer 122 through contact holes disposed in the first interlayer insulating layer 140, the second interlayer insulating layer 150, and the gate insulating layer 130.

[0075] In addition, the source electrode 152 can contact the light-shielding pattern 112 through contact holes provided in the first interlayer insulating layer 140, the second interlayer insulating layer 150, the gate insulating layer 130, and the buffer layer 120.

[0076] The source electrode 152 and the drain electrode 154 can be formed from one or more of the following: aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), titanium (Ti), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), tungsten (W), and their alloys.

[0077] The source electrode 152, drain electrode 154, semiconductor layer 122, and gate electrode 132 can form a thin film transistor TR.

[0078] Meanwhile, one of the first interlayer insulating layer 140 and the second interlayer insulating layer 150 can be omitted, and in this case, the second capacitor electrode 142 can be made of the same material as the source electrode 152 and the drain electrode 154 and disposed on the same layer as the source electrode 152 and the drain electrode 154.

[0079] A first planarization layer 160 may be disposed above the source electrode 152 and the drain electrode 154. The first planarization layer 160 can eliminate step differences caused by the underlying layer and can have a substantially flat top surface. The first planarization layer 160 may be formed of an organic insulating material such as a photosensitive acrylic polymer (photoacrylic).

[0080] A connecting electrode 162 can be disposed above the first planarization layer 160. The connecting electrode 162 can contact the drain electrode 154 through contact holes disposed in the first planarization layer 160.

[0081] The connection electrode 162 may overlap with the thin-film transistor TR and the storage capacitor Cst. However, embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the connection electrode 162 may overlap with a portion of the thin-film transistor TR and be spaced apart from the storage capacitor Cst.

For example, the connecting electrode 162 can have a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure.

[0083] A second planarization layer 170 may be disposed above the connecting electrode 162. The second planarization layer 170 can eliminate step differences caused by the underlying layer and can have a substantially flat top surface. The second planarization layer 170 may be formed of an organic insulating material such as a photosensitive acrylic polymer (photoacrylic).

[0084] Next, a first electrode 172 can be disposed above the second planarization layer 170, and the first electrode 172 can be formed of a conductive material with a relatively high work function. The first electrode 172 can contact the connecting electrode 162 through contact holes provided in the second planarization layer 170. Therefore, the first electrode 172 can be electrically connected to the drain electrode 154 through the connecting electrode 162.

[0085] Alternatively, the connecting electrode 162 and the second planarization layer 170 can be omitted. In this case, the first electrode 172 can be in direct contact with the drain electrode 154.

[0086] For example, the first electrode 172 may comprise a transparent conductive material such as indium tin oxide (ITO) or indium zinc oxide (IZO), or may comprise titanium (Ti). However, embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0087] Simultaneously, the first electrode 172 can have a multilayer structure comprising a material with relatively high reflectivity. For example, the first electrode 172 can be formed into a structure with relatively high reflectivity, such as a three-layer structure of titanium, aluminum, and titanium (Ti / Al / Ti), a three-layer structure of indium tin oxide, aluminum, and indium tin oxide (ITO / Al / ITO), a three-layer structure of indium tin oxide, silver, and indium tin oxide (ITO / Ag / ITO), or a three-layer structure of indium tin oxide, silver alloy, and indium tin oxide (ITO / Ag alloy / ITO).

[0092] The hole auxiliary layer may include at least one of a hole injection layer (HIL) and a hole transport layer (HTL). The electron auxiliary layer may include at least one of an electron injection layer (EIL) and an electron transport layer (ETL).

[0093] As shown, the light-emitting layer 182 may be disposed only above the first electrode 172 exposed by the embankment 180. However, embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto. In other embodiments, some of the light-emitting layers 182 (e.g., light-emitting material layers) may be disposed only above the first electrode 172, and hole-assisted layers and electron-assisted layers may be disposed substantially over the entire substrate 110.

[0094] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the light-emitting layer 182 may emit white light and may be disposed on the top and side surfaces of the embankment 180, such that the light-emitting layer 182 may be disposed over substantially the entire substrate 110.

[0096] A second electrode 190 made of a conductive material with a relatively low work function can be disposed above the light-emitting layer 182. The second electrode 190 can be disposed above substantially the entire substrate 110.

[0097] The second electrode 190 may be formed of aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), silver (Ag), or an alloy thereof. In this case, the second electrode 190 may have a relatively thin thickness, allowing light from the light-emitting layer 182 to be transmitted through it. For example, the second electrode 190 may have a thickness of approximately 5 nm to approximately 10 nm, but embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0098] Alternatively, the second electrode 190 may be formed of a transparent conductive material such as indium gallium oxide (IGO) or IZO.

[0099] The first electrode 172, the light-emitting layer 182, and the second electrode 190 can constitute a light-emitting diode (LED). Here, the first electrode 172 can be used as the anode, and the second electrode 190 can be used as the cathode. However, the embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto.

Here, the organic layer may be a layer covering particles generated during the manufacturing process.

[0101] Simultaneously, although not shown in the figure, a capping layer can be disposed between the second electrode 190 and the encapsulation layer 192. The capping layer can be formed of an insulating material with a relatively high refractive index. The wavelength of light traveling along the capping layer can be amplified by surface plasmon resonance. Therefore, the intensity of the peak can be increased, thereby improving the light efficiency in the display device. For example, the capping layer can be formed as a single layer of organic or inorganic layers, or it can be formed as a stacked organic / inorganic layer.

[0102] Next, a first sensor insulating layer 210 can be disposed above the encapsulation layer 192. The first sensor insulating layer 210 can be a sensor buffer layer of the sensor portion 200. The first sensor insulating layer 210 can be formed of an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide (SiOx), silicon nitride (SiNx), or silicon oxynitride (SiON), and can be formed as a single layer or multiple layers.

[0103] A bridge electrode 220 can be disposed above the first sensor insulating layer 210. The bridge electrode 220 can overlap with the dam 180 and be spaced apart from the light-emitting diode De.

[0104] The bridge electrode 220 can be formed of a conductive material such as a metal. The bridge electrode 220 can be formed of one or more of the following: aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), titanium (Ti), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), tungsten (W), and their alloys. For example, the bridge electrode 220 can have a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure.

[0105] A second sensor insulating layer 230 can be disposed above the bridge electrode 220. The second sensor insulating layer 230 can be an interlayer insulating layer for sensors. The second sensor insulating layer 230 can be formed of an organic insulating material such as a photosensitive acrylic polymer (photoacrylic).

[0106] Multiple sensor electrodes 240 can be disposed above the second sensor insulating layer 230. The multiple sensor electrodes 240 can selectively contact the bridge electrode 220 through contact holes provided in the second sensor insulating layer 230.

[0107] Therefore, multiple sensor electrodes 240 can be selectively connected to each other via bridge electrodes 220 in the first direction X and / or the second direction Y, thereby forming a first sensing line extending substantially in the first direction X and a second sensing line extending substantially in the second direction Y.

[0108] That is, each of the first sensing line and the second sensing line may include a bridge electrode 220 and a sensor electrode 240.

[0109] The sensor electrode 240 can be formed of a conductive material such as a metal. The sensor electrode 240 can be formed of one or more of the following: aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), titanium (Ti), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), tungsten (W), and their alloys. For example, the sensor electrode 240 can have a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure.

[0110] A third sensor insulating layer 250 may be disposed above the sensor electrode 240. The third sensor insulating layer 250 may be a sensor passivation layer. The third sensor insulating layer 250 may be formed of an inorganic insulating material such as silicon oxide (SiOx), silicon nitride (SiNx), or silicon oxynitride (SiON), and may be formed as a single layer or multiple layers.

[0111] Additionally, although not shown in the figure, a protective layer can be provided above the third sensor insulating layer 250. The protective layer can be formed of an organic insulating material.

[0112] However, the implementation of this disclosure is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, one of the third sensor insulating layer 250 and the protective layer may be omitted.

[0113] Therefore, by providing a sensor portion 200 above the display portion 100, the display device according to the embodiments of the present disclosure can detect the user's touch input and perform the corresponding operation.

[0114] At the same time, refer to again Figure 1 The display device according to embodiments of the present disclosure may include a gate control line (GCL).

[0115] The gate control line GCL can be disposed in the non-display area NDA and connected to the flexible printed circuit 24. The gate control line GCL can also extend and be disposed in the display area DA. In this case, the gate control line GCL can be disposed on each of the two ends of the flexible printed circuit board 24 and is symmetrical about the left and right sides in response to the flexible printed circuit board 24.

[0116] The gate control line (GCL) can transmit gate control signals from the source printed circuit board 22 to the display area DA. For example, the gate control signal may include timing signals such as clock, constant voltage, etc.

[0117] Additionally, although not shown in the figures, the display device according to embodiments of this disclosure may include a gate driving circuit disposed in the display device DA. The gate driving circuit may be disposed between and / or within adjacent sub-pixels SP.

[0118] The gate drive circuit of the display area DA can be connected to the gate control line GCL and receive the gate control signal. The gate drive circuit can use the gate control signal to generate a gate signal and transmit the generated gate signal to each sub-pixel SP.

[0119] The gate drive circuit located in the display area DA can be of the active internal gate (GIA) type.

[0120] Therefore, in the display device according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, since the gate driving circuit is provided in the display area DA and not formed in the non-display area NDA, the area of ​​the non-display area NDA can be reduced.

[0121] Therefore, in a display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the border area can be minimized, and the area of ​​the display area DA can be increased compared to the same size.

[0122] Incidentally, in the display device according to embodiments of this disclosure, the gate control line GCL may cross and overlap with at least one first wiring RL1. As described above, since the signal of the first wiring RL1 is sensitive to surrounding signals, the signal of the first wiring RL1 may be affected by the gate control signal of the gate control line GCL, thus potentially degrading the touch sensing characteristics. That is, touch performance may be degraded.

[0123] Therefore, in a display device according to an embodiment of this disclosure, a shielding pattern can be provided in the thickness direction between the gate control line GCL and the first wiring RL1 to prevent a reduction in touch sensitivity characteristics. This will be referred to... Figures 3 to 6 Detailed description.

[0181] Reference Figure 8This disclosure describes a cross-sectional configuration of a display device applied to a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0182] Figure 8 This is a schematic cross-sectional view of a display device applied to a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 8 Essentially, a sub-pixel SP is shown. Besides the lens, Figure 8 The display device can have the same Figure 2 The configuration of the display device is basically the same. With Figure 2 Identical parts may be indicated by the same or similar reference numerals, and the description of identical parts may be shortened or omitted.

[0183] like Figure 8 As shown, the display panel 10 of the display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a display portion 100 and a light control portion 300 above the display portion 100.

[0184] The optical control section 300 may include a bridge electrode 320, a sensor electrode 340, and a lens 360. The bridge electrode 320 and the sensor electrode 340 may be selectively connected to form a sensor.

[0187] A third sensor insulating layer 350 can be disposed above the sensor electrode 340, and a lens 360 can be disposed above the third sensor insulating layer 350.

[0188] Lens 360 can be configured to correspond to a light-emitting diode De. Lens 360 can allow light emitted from the light-emitting diode De to be output to the outside in a specific direction, thereby limiting the viewing angle. Lens 360 can be a hemispherical lens (e.g., a dome lens) or a semi-cylindrical lens.

[0189] Next, a protective layer 370 can be provided above the lens 360 to protect the lens 360. The protective layer 370 can be formed of an organic insulating material and can have a substantially flat top surface. The refractive index of the protective layer 370 can be less than the refractive index of the lens 360. However, embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto.

The polarizing plate can change the polarization state of external light incident on the display panel 10, thereby preventing external light from being reflected in the display panel 10 and then output to the outside.

[0192] In a display device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, by setting the lens 360 to correspond to the light-emitting diode De, light can be focused by the lens 360 and output to the outside in a specific direction, thereby limiting the viewing angle.

[0193] The display device of this disclosure can include a gate driving circuit in the display area, thereby reducing the area of ​​the non-display area and minimizing the bezel area. Compared to the same size, this display device of the present disclosure can increase the area of ​​the display area. Therefore, efficiency can be improved, thereby reducing production power consumption and achieving low power consumption.

[0194] Furthermore, by providing a sensor portion above the display portion of the display panel, the display device of this disclosure can be used as an output device for displaying images, and simultaneously as an input device for receiving user commands by touching a specific portion of the displayed image.

[0195] Furthermore, the wiring in the non-display area that connects to the sensing line of the sensor section of the display area can be placed in a closed loop of the ground line to prevent signal interference or coupling.

[0196] Furthermore, by setting a shielding pattern between the gate control line and the wiring of the gate drive circuit connected to the display area, touch performance can be prevented from being degraded due to the gate control signal.

[0197] Furthermore, by providing a light control section above the display section, the display device of this disclosure can selectively limit the viewing angle.

[0198] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the electroluminescent display device and the method of manufacturing the electroluminescent display device of this disclosure without departing from the technical concept or scope of this disclosure.
